An easy challenge is one that does not rqeiure exact placement or difficult maneuvers (be it complicated motorized attachments or advanced navigation).For example - scoring the non-competitive 15 points on the Satellite mission is very easy because: 1) It does not rqeiure accurate alignment 2) It is an easy straight shot from base 3) The manipulation rqeiured is at a medium height. Difficulty Rating 1/10A harder mission would be retrieving the Uranium. It still is a straight shot, but then you'll have to rely on alignment. They are also semi close to a wall, so you'll have to make sure it doesn't interfere with your manipulator. Difficulty Rating 3/10A hard mission is the Solar Panel. Precision is rqeiured. If there's a straight shot from base it's hard to get. Not gentle and you'll knock the panel off the house while trying to place it. Difficulty Rating 7/10What would I have done to make it harder? How about for the corn and uranium missions, if you moved the red loop (as opposed to the neon-green or yellow) you lost all points for that mission. We'd see some really cool tools there.Instead of bringing the rail car back to base by hand, how about with the robot (while fully out of base).Maybe place the wind turbines on the sandy beach west of the house.The sheer number of actions rqeiured this year will prove to be difficult for most. I think that we'll see some interesting solutions for the missions that rqeiure precision.Josh
